WHAT WE DO

In an environment where there is an increase in demand for premium content, and a decrease in studio releases, an opening for quality independent content has emerged.

PRODUCTION

We are focused on high-quality scripts, with recognizable directors and on-screen talent, solid foreign value, and strong commercial appeal.

DISTRIBUTION

We acquire finished films and provide minimum guarantees and/or P&A for the release. We release across all platforms from theatrical to physical and everything in between.

RENT-A-SYSTEM

We offer a reduced distribution fee for producers that have a completed film and P&A to support the release. Our services can be a la carte or across all platforms.
